Game Over

So, the summer here is over for me. And it was a long, really long one.

I mean, it all started as a dream. Then i began to work, and study. At the end, i was working and roughly uderstanding the principles of magnetism. And also i began my studies of japanese. All the things i wanted to do this summer (and i promised myself i will do them at new year's celebration) were done... And finally, i went to Coquimbo and saw my old uncle Oscar.

That guy, Oscar, is a character taken from a book. He can tell you all his life and never gets you bored. He was a sailor, an engineer, a laboratory helper, a worker, a cooker... He had a really nourished life.
And now i met him... He may have 79, but he still looks like the first time i saw him, many years ago. Man, he even has a watch that sometimes stops ans soetimes keeps going. Maybe that's his secret.
And his house. Wow, it doesn't have anything beyond the 80's. Even the phone is old. A really old sailor...
But still a human being. And like every other human being, he felt sad when we were going. I mean, for a guy who doesn't see his sons often, except when they need money, we were a miracle. We helped him cleaning the house and we even slept in the bed he offered for us...

He cried... I never saw him crying until that day.

So we leaved... A nice, fresh, sunny day. Not much traffic. We bought some cakes at La Ligua... The usual...

And now i'm here... I can't complain about this summer in any perspective. I feel good, exhausted, and happy. It was the best summer ever!!

My Last Day At Work

This Sunday, ecerything was like i spected to be... Like i wanted to happen.

I started my turn as a cashier, smiling all the time, askng for people abut what did they wanted to eat, what did they want to donate and if they wanted to eat more for more money.
I asked for the meals that are made in the kitchen at the moment, and i ordered the things that were needed to be fried at the moment, too. I cleaned up trys over and over. I gived the cash back (if there was) and i ate my lunch at the breack.

But i also smiled more. I seemed happy. Because i was happy. Because it was my last day and i lived it as the best of all... I did it all the best i could do it, and when someone of my colleages had to go, i said goodbye ti him/her and huggued him/her. Not because i was leaving... Just because it was a good day.

Everything set, i wrote a message and put it in the message board. After that, a leaved and looked at the mall for a last time. It was cold, but i felt warm ion the inside. I wasn't a person who went to the mall and buys stuff. No, i was a street-market guy. But this month, i went so many times at the mall. Maybe more than in my entire life. So now i won't see the mall as i saw it before. Now, it's more human to me...

... Because i know there are humans in there.

Language??

A friend replied about my idea. But i don't think he understood the problem.

The thing is that english is not my mother language. Neither i'm surrounded by people who acan understand it. In fact, i'm the only person who can speak fluid english in work. So i looked at this blog and said "well, i'm doing a pretty good job in here, but not everyone i know can read this...". After that, i created http://ahau-es.blogspot.com, where i can post in spanish.
After i spoke with my friend about my desition, he replied saying that, in fact, if i'm so cared about language, then i could make a multilanguage blog, and maybe that the understanding of what you're saying doesn't matter. Well, maybe he is right, but then i though about all the people who won't look at my blog just "porque está en inglés y no entiendo nada".

What a trouble i got in. Dindn't I?

Mmmmm.... Convinced

So... I'm here for two reasons. The first reason, that a friend convinced me. And the second one, that the place where i was uploading photos and writing has fallen into a bunch of troubles and it doesn't seem to be repaired soon. So here i am. This place looks comfty enough to get used to. I'm thinking of a lot of things to say, but i guess that i will just wait.

I hope i can find my friend around here, I KNOW he is around here.
